Time for me to Get Back to Writing

I have a deadline - November 30, to have 50k words written. My personal goal is to have as many words above that as possible.
I spent most of yesterday writing, and put in over 3000 words and three chapters. I'm currently sitting at 24,209, almost halfway through the challenge, which should be met in the next hour, but I'm not stopping there.
New Horizons is going very well. No doubt there will be a lot of editing to do when this first very rough draft is done, but I'm loving the story so far.
I do hope to be back sometime today to interact again.
I did go to the pool this morning. It was very cold 12 F with a wind chill at 0 F. It did snow yesterday, and I'm looking at more snow outside my window. Loving the view.
I hope you're having a good day. Thanks for reading.

Glad to hear you are doing so well with your writing.
No snow here, thank goodness, but too cold for me. Looking forward to the beauty and warmth that is Florida. My brother called yesterday and will arrive shortly after us. He, his wife, and dog will also spend huge chunks of time this year in FL. My other sis in law arrives January 1st. Friends will be down from Connecticut and New York, too. So much fun to look forward to!!!

When are you leaving? I thought you were staying until Christmas. I know you're looking forward to getting back there, and I'm sure you want to see the apartment, even though your neighbor has taken good care of it for you.

@just4him December 4th to April 4th. I relish every moment there. The condo is fine, but can't wait for the view, the weather, going out with our friends and family, and of course shopping. However, I miss those at home severely.

I'll be back at it again soon. I'm going to finish up my notifications. I did break the halfway mark, still have a lot to get done today. I have at least a thousand more words to write to accomplish my goals for today.

No, the book, New Horizons, isn't finished yet. Yes, I swim at the YWCA. It's only 3 miles from home. Yes, I swim all year round, though with the wind chills as bad as they have been, I haven't been to the Y this week.

@Hannihar I will be going back on Tuesday. I know the wind chills will still be brutal, but I don't want to waste my membership, and I need the exercise. I also love the people who are there that early.

Some people may not remember that your pool is indoors. If it were me, I'd add something relating to the walk to the pool being that cold.
If I knew I could spend a lot of time here interacting this month, I'd have done nano again as a rebel and counted those words toward my nano total, but we had three weeks in October where not much work was done as I didn't have a guy to help with higher windows. We're trying to get last month's jobs done now before the weather gets too cold to continue. Because of that my time here will suffer too.
Is this rough draft a continuation of your story from other books or something brand new?
Btw, I like this new picture of you better than the one you were using before.

Thank you. Then maybe I should use it for my future books. I'm not a rebel. I started it the first of the month. I'm more than halfway through now. So this is a rough draft, very rough. I'm doing my best to quash my inner editor. For the most part it's working.
I thought you had a guy who could do the higher windows.

@just4him I had two guys during the summer, but one got a different job and quit coming to work. The other one I fired the end of September since he wasn't doing the job right any longer. He went from working every other week to every week and I think it was too much for him somehow.
It took three more weeks to find someone else. Actually, I sort of found the person the beginning of Oct, but he was hoping to get a full time job or one with more hours through the winter months instead. I hired his wife and he decided to come work for us after all. Thus far, he's been a great addition to our team and I hope he stays.
I've done nano two or three times. Once I began a novel which is still sitting on the back burner collecting dust. The other times I used posts on bubblews rather than doing a book.

@MarshaMusselman I thought I had read that you hired that guy and he's great with the ladder and upper windows.
This is my third time doing NaNo. I've won the other two times. Somehow I think I've done it three times. I would need to look at my list of books, which are all on the back burner. This one I'm doing now isn't going on the back burner when November is done. This one has me hooked into what's going to happen next.
